Jen oh my sweet girl that was perfect. Seriously. Because that moment when she's hanging there and he's not with her- is the moment everything changed for Kate. A moment of blinding clarity if you will. Just loved this.

This was a great read, and I share your view that Kate will realise that she can't ever win. Nothing will bring her mother back. Justice (but really, I think we're talking vengeance here) won't eradicate the hurt.

She can go all out and try to get to the person pulling all the strings (and likely die in the process) or she can live her life and try and find peace.

I especially like this line: "It seems silly now that she thinks about it. It's the fall that's going to kill her. She gets that now."

My Jen is back in Castle-land! Waves! Hunnie this was great. I loved that she finally sees the futility of her actions, and that's it's his words that save her. Just as they did once before in written form when her mother died. Epic! Now go and finish it - there is more to say.
